Nastya runs a social media account, and very soon she will have her first million subscribers. However, her jealous brother Anton wants to hack his sister’s account to run it his own way. Nastya cannot allow this! So, she teams up with a butterfly named Rose and does everything she can to stop Anton and his chatbot, Igor, from preventing Nastya from enjoying her hard-earned popularity.
«Runaway Bloggers» is a board game inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, «The Elf of the Rose Bush.» The game is set in young Russia in 2013, when blogging was just beginning to gain traction.

Rules
1. The player rolls a die and moves their token across the board.
2. If the token lands on a colored square, the player either draws an action card or waits for their next turn—this depends on the color and shape of the square.
3. The goal is to reach the opposite end of the board faster than the other player.
*If two teams are playing, the team whose member reaches the end first wins.
Maps
There are three types of cards: general, for Nastya, and for Anton.
The cards have symbols that allow you to quickly understand their characteristics:
+ — The player can move forward the specified number of spaces.
— — The player must move backward the specified number of spaces.
~ — The player skips the specified number of turns.
Additionally, since the game is designed for youth and teens, every illustration on the cards references a popular meme.
Field
Players start walking from opposite sides: Nasty’s team has the star on their bracelet; Anton’s team has the star on their palm.
